UNCLE SANS boys are in high feather
at Fort Custer, and are meditating a

Copenhagen, he will follow the course

IL telegraph reports do not lie, and
how could they, the firm of Brummett
& Hole, of Greenville have put good
deal OF money in hole and left no light
number of creditors in a nine-hole.
The telegram places liabilities at sixty
thousand round dollars, and assets at
three and one sixth per cent. OF liablli-
ties. Greenville Is entitled to the

The authorities proceed vigorously with
the work of caring for the sick and
absting all nuisances. The jail had TO
succumb as being breeding hole for

of health.
COUNT DE LEssEPS has cast the horo-
scope OF tue Panama canal and says that
the long delayed and never-expected-to
Oe-COmpleted work will be opened for
the passage OF vessels on the third day
of February, eighteen hundred and
ninety. Ii does not cost any more to fix
this date than any other that might be
designated.
BY that terrible explosion at st. Louis,
mentioned in yesterdays dispatches, the
entire Newman family consisting of

The storms that have devastated our
Atlantic sea board and played havoc
with the shipping on the upper lakes,
have paid their respects to the coasts OF
Great Britain. The gales We're of suffi-

not yet sized up. AT Brighton, Cardiff,

ABOUT this time next week the returns
will be coming In from New York and
Ohio. Cleveland's paTtisans will, no
doubt, move earth and hell, and would
move heaven If they had any influence
in that quarter, to compass the defeat OF
the republican party IN those states.
Democratic defeat in Ohio is settled.
The party may possibly carry New
York, probably will, as it is a clear case

GREvY seems to have determined on a
desperate game IN order TO cover up the
tran of his detachable sOn-in-law and

some OF the government officials. He
Will preCipitate a cabinet crisis in the

northern fine grade cattle for Texas
fever, is one Of the most important COM
municatioLs made to the cattlemen of
this state. If the vaccination, so TO
speak, OF these cattle can be successfully
carried out, that immunity from Texas
fever will be assured them on the Texas
ranges, then will the breeding of good
grade cattle in this country receive an
impetus 1t has long been denied. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that go important
an experiment will not be left untried for
the sum required, paltry two hun

president OF the United States next year,
and there Is good reason 10 believe that
he will die before a democratic congress
